Things Worth Remembering

The three habits that lead to success are: Patience, Application, and Vision.

Take care: The person who will tell others' faults to you - will tell yours to others.

It is always better to be underestimated.

There are three things that are better than riches: Health, Freedom, and Honor.

Think swiftly, speak softly, act wisely.

"The world is neither Scottish, English, nor Irish, neither French, Dutch, nor Chinese, but human, and each nation is only the partial development of a universal humanity." - James Grant on founding the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights, 1862

I’ve put up a few more things on the Watto’s Junk Shop page. If you would like anything, just let me know and I’ll get it into the mail to you (this includes you globe-hopping military families, too). I’ll continue to update the page as I find things we’re no longer using. All I ask is that you pass them along when the time comes.

One of my projects this week has been to get our photo albums back under control. WooBoy. Just shoot me now.

I’ve finally gotten our 2006 album completed, after ordering double and triple copies of some photos. Oops. I just have to finish our 2006 vacation album now to be done with the traditional albums.   *I think I can. I think I can.*   From here on out, I’m going to make digital albums (a la, Shutterfly or SnapFish) and have those printed out with a few blank pages to tape in movie tickets, assorted mementos and handwritten notes. I feel lighter already. I was even able to give away my scrapbooking bag and some no longer needed supplies Tuesday night to someone who lives right in the neighborhood. Oh, how I love Freecycle.

Now, to just finish up that 2006 vacation album…
